[Qemu-devel] wrong behaviour of caps lock

[Benjamin Drung]

Hi,

We applied the attached patch in Ubuntu to fix the wrong behavior of
caps lock.

Initial bug report: https://launchpad.net/bugs/427612

Testcase: Select German NEO 2 as keyboard layout and press "caps lock" +
"l". Then a "-" should appear instead of a "t".
